A ‘post-tourism publication’, reflecting the significance of movement and location in contemporary culture and discourse, regardless of the ability to physically travel or not.
Marking their 15th anniversary, this 27th edition explores ‘the oldest feeling in travel’: arrival. Featuring a diverse line up of creative innovators, the issue represents both the advent and closing of an era defined by a constant state of flux. Rather than a fixed destination, ‘arrival’ is reframed as an inevitable present in which AI and omnipresent access to the globe is just another part of the fabric of the everyday.
Inside, find conversations with the likes of artist and founder of Rebuild Foundation Theaster Gates; Glenn Martens, the creative force behind Maison Margiela and Diesel; Argentinian chef and author Francis Mallman; Anatolian singer-songwriter Derya Yildirim; Canadian visual artist and musician Allie X; American icon Kirsten McMenamy; and, model Amelia Gray.
With a meditation and travel journal included, the reader can also insert themselves into this thoughtful issue.
